No I'm not talking about the viability of the NZ economy or whether economies like Naaru and Fiji are really just aid organisations, no it's where you try and save money by buying something cheaper and in reality it costs more. My last post on this looked at wrapping paper and incense.
Coffee. Is cheap coffee really worth it? If you're going to buy beans or grounds or a flat white or espresso does maying 50 cents or a dollar less for crap really make sense?
Same with tea. If you're buying tea for a refreshing complex flavour full of anti-oxidants and a warming comforting taste why would you buy cheap teabags made out of floor sweepings????
The answer, I think, must be that people like crap. They have no idea what a good cup of coffee or tea tastes like and could just as easily be drinking muddy water, with three sugars.
Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy.....
